Millet is one of the five grains, and there are two or three varieties. One is sweet millet, which is warm in nature, and the other is low-viscosity millet, which is cloudy in nature. These two kinds of millet are small in appearance and have bright yellow color, and the five elements belong to the soil, with peaceful and practical energy and sweet taste. If you have problems with your stomach, pancreas and spleen, you can eat more sweet millet. Millet nourishes yin, which is an alkaline cereal. People who have soreness or stomach upset can also eat it often. Millet can also relieve bad breath and reduce the growth of bacteria in the mouth. Millet is rich in amino acids to help prevent abortion, antibacterial and prevent female vaginal inflammation. Millet is helpful for people with diarrhea, vomiting, indigestion and diabetes.

Besides being rich in iron, millet also contains protein, vitamin B complex, calcium, potassium, fiber and so on. Because millet is alkaline in nature, there is no need to add too much salt or simply cook without salt when cooking.

Accelerating the germination of millet is called germ millet. The method of accelerating germination is as follows: wash the millet, soak it in twice as clean water for one night, pour the water, and change it before cooking. The energy of germ millet is much more than that of non-germinated millet, which helps the degradation of digestive system. If the digestive ability is extremely poor, if the feces excreted every day are many times and all are water, then millet is not needed. When cooking millet, you can mix other cereals such as brown rice and wheat, but it is not suitable for cooking with corn and coix seed.
